Hello, everyone. I just joined this wonderful community today, and I've been taking advantage of the incredible useful resources posted on the site. Kudos for this; it's exactly what I've been looking for. Anyway, I consider myself a student of language, but other than a terrible first-year Latin class, a year of French and two years of Spanish, I don't have much formal training.

I am new to this site and am interested in the idea of a study group.

I would love an opportunity to learn with others on the same level as myself to share support and insight. Also to vent when needed.
